Sizing Notes
Altra’s unique FootShape™ toe box and zero to low shoes are built to place your foot in a natural position, with a stable and confident foundation to run on. When fitting, be sure to allow a full thumb’s width in front of your toes. If your feet are used to cramped toe boxes, Altra shoes may feel a little big at first. Give your toes some time to get used to the newfound wiggle room.
Altra offers a range of FootShape fits:
Original Fit: The fit that started it all, Original is the roomiest of the 3 options from Altra.
Standard Fit: The most common fit from Altra is right in the middle of Original and Slim.
Slim Fit: The slimmest-fitting Altra option still allows room for your toes to spread out naturally.
IS THIS SHOE TRUE TO SIZE? The product Features above will provide a suggestion if Altra advises you to size up or down in this particular shoe. If no such note exists, please order your regular size.

Love this version of Torins
4 months ago
I have been wearing the Paradigms for the last several years, but I figured I would try out these Torins. They are great! A lot of cushion for long miles, but enough firmness to maintain stability. There is a rocker-like feel to them too, meaning the miles are effortless, whether walking or running.

Disappointed in this version
3 months ago
I Wear a 9 1/2 Wide. Every version of the Torin since version 5 has a slightly smaller toe box. Now version 8 has a narrower width in the arch. After 4 hours of normal walking and standing I am left with aching feet. Altra's wide last is not consistent across the models a wide is available in and not consistent to each version. I will be returning these. Can't seem to find another brand that even tries to cater to a wider foot.

Very very happy with this shoe. I think altra is realizing that refreshing their shoes does not mean to drastically restyle and introduce new features no one asked for- they did this new gen right. It remains very similar to its prior model, with some modern styling added. The cushion is more firm than the past, and it is noticeable. I don’t think this is a horrible thing, as I wore them for my 12hr hospital shift and my feet were happy at the end of the day. I think this cushioning will last longer than the prior gen. Otherwise they made the laces longer- THANK YOU! last gen was too short. I don’t enjoy shoes that have a slopping heal (if that makes sense), this has that now, pay attention if you are a big heel plantar individual. Give them a try, if this doesn’t fit what you are looking for, Altra offers many other shoes. I most likely won’t run in these, I prefer Altra experience (for the 4mm drop). I love you Altra keep up the loyalty to your customers and we shall return!

Super comfortable, lightweight and my go to high mileage training shoes for my long road runs from 7-30 plus miles! I have run over 20,000 miles in Altra's over the last 10 years, and they just suit me great! I typically get 600-800 miles out of the Torrin's

Another great shoe

As I have arthritis in my right knee, I have found the cushioning and zero drop feature of Altra sneakers has improved my walking comfort considerably. The Torin 8 is particularly comfortable and supplies just the right amount of stability and support.
